    Obviously need to replace some injuries (Hore, Petty, Tmcd) and bring back Lever and Gawn.  

    Likely ins are definitely Gawn & Lever.  Would love to give Bedford a run to show how desperately vital a small forward is. 

    Hibberd  May  Lever
    Salem Frost Lewis
    Fritsch  Viney  Brayshaw 
    Petracca  Weid  Hannan
    Bedford  Preuss Hunt
    Gawn Harmes Olive r
    Jones Lockhart Dunkley Anb

    Key missing - Jetta Melksham Tmcd Hore Vandenburg JSmith

    Zac Fisher played out the game and appeared unaffected. Low impact. Lewis cops a fine at worst despite his record.

    Agree $1000 fine at worst

    Hard to argue with that. Let's keep Preuss in.

    agreed

    (now you watch - christian always goes suspension-hunting after a pies loss...lewis to cop a week or two guaranteed)

    are we 100% sure that gawn will be right to go? will they bring jetta back despite his form looking less than ideal in the magoos?

    IN: lever, gawn, j wagner
    OUT: t mac, hore, petty

    if lewis goes then you'd expect baker would be back in or jordon may debut

    tbh i'd probably take either of those over j wagner, but they might want extra mid-size defensive coverage

    Agree with all this except Oscar. Surely Josh Wagner comes in before him.

    So delayed concussion symptoms Carlton doctors will claim, 4 weeks for Lewis?

    Gawn for Tommy and Lever for Hore the obvious ones.

    Not sure he had much of a game at Casey but I’d love to put Baker back in on the fast Etihad track and leave Fritsch at half back if Petty doesn’t get up.

    JKH?? If we have to I guess, but are we really expecting him to get another go next year?

    Yes baker back. His second half was good yesterday and I feel is better suited to AFL then VFL. 


    Could be on my own here, but I'm not sold on bringing Gawn back to play against a running team on a quick hard deck with his injury.

    IN: Lever, JKH, Baker

    OUT: TMac (inj), Petty (conc), Hore (inj)

    Try Dunkley in the middle for a couple of short stints

    Agree- Lockhart looks tired. Lack of preseason is catching up. No point in burning him out.

     

    I thought Lockhart was more involved in contests than Hannan. Id have JKH for either.

    How close is Nev to a call up? Is 1 VFL game enough? Jetta into the backline, Fritsch forward?

    Goodwin hinted at two weeks.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
